Great Gift Ideas for Boys for Christmas – Make Your Own Robot Kit
A Make Your Own Robot Kit is perfect for boys who like to know why and how everything works. Homemade robot kits are very educational. They teach Science in a practical and fun way. Boys won’t even know they are learning.
They will make great Christmas Gifts for this holiday season or for a birthday or any other special occasion.
We recently gave our boy a Make Your Own Brush Robot Kit and he loves it. I love it too. My only complaint? I will need to have dozens on these little brush robots to help me scrub my floors clean.
On the right is my own picture of the robot.
Make Your Own Brush Robot – This will make a great gift for the boy who is interested in Science and How Stuff Works
Christmas came early for my boy this year. He did well in his school examinations so we allowed him to choose one toy at the toy shop. He scorned at all the toys in the shop. “I have outgrown toys mom. They are too childish for me.” he declared.
Then he selected this Robot out of several Make Your Own Robot Kits. Well, actually, I helped him decided because I thought it looked rather adorable and I thought it could help me do some brushing around the house. 😉
The Robot is not that easy to assemble but we did it finally. I helped him to put together most of it. He got to stick on the googly eyes, tighten some screws, bent the wires and fix the brush. That was good enough for him. He was fascinated with the robot.
The robot works on the principle of vibrating motors. I learned a thing about two about the Science of vibration. I also got to explain about circuits and how to make a complete circuit to him and my boy got to insert the batteries in our completed Robot and hit the switch. He carefully inserted the batteries the right way round and was very proud of it.
Older boys will enjoy fixing this on their own. This Make Your Own Brush Robot Kit makes a great educational Christmas gift for younger boys with supervision and older boys to explore.

Make Your Own Robotic Dog for Boys
OWI 6-in-1 Educational Solar Kit BUY NOW!
Have you heard of Hasbro’s i-Dog Robotic Music Loving Canine? This robotic dog moves and grooves to the beat with an expressive face and 7 multicolored lights. It will make a really nice Christmas Gift for a boy. Even big boys will love this one as a Christmas gift.
However, I like to make my own Robotic Dog. It doesn’t dance like the i-Dog can but it can transform into an airboat, windmill, and two planes and it is powered on solar powered. Definitely a savings on my pocket for energy draining batteries and it will teach the boy a thing or two about the benefits of solar energy.
